Intimidate vs. Epics

Vorham · 08-03-2005, 04:53 AM

Bein that I'm new to the raid scene, I haven't tried this against an epic mob, at least one that wasn't getting hit. It doesn't have the "can't use on epic" flag and seems to always land on mobs... so I'm wondering if it could theoretically be used on a named epicx2 or x4 to "mez" the boss for a few seconds. Or do epics just ignore it?

Good question. I'm not 100% sure of the answer myself. What I would assume is that unless you can get the entire raid to stop attacking the mob, it would just serve as an interrupt to stop the mob from casting a spell.

Yes it will mez the mob as long as no dmg is on it, but with out proper team work it works as an extra interrupt.

I think it works on ^^ epic mobs, but not on ^^^ mobs. Finnster

No, currently Intimidate works on ANY mob in the game ^^^ or not it gets mezed, the devs are very much aware of this and going to get changed via combat changes. -Tamaran 50 Iksar Bruiser - AB

It's true ... I've used it on Rognog before when things got a little out of hand. The problem, as was mentioned, is that you will almost never be able to land it (and keep it landed), only because there's so many people casting/attacking or DoTs/debuffs that are already active on the mob. If you're all on teamspeak or whatever, you could pull it off. If the MT goes down, for instance, you can call everyone to clear their dots and stop attacking, then intimidate giving a little extra time for the MT to get back and buffed.
